salvador001 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 None of them. The best one is the Hasegawa 1/48 AH-64A/D/E kits. Best of the best! Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Unless Academy changed the kit later, the problem is that it doesn't represent a production AH-64D. The one I had contained the prototype enlarged sponsons, which were different than the ones on production birds, an A cockpit, and lacked details like the air data booms. The Revell kit is the 30 year old Monogram kit, with a new sprue contain D parts. It's actually not too bad, although it's a strange mixture of old raised panel line parts with a new sprue done with recessed panel lines. For accuracy, I think it's a better choice than the Academy kit. However, as noted above, the Hasegawa kits are by far the best 1/48 Apaches. One of the more recent boxings includes parts for a late block D or the new E, both with the upturned exhausts. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10343385 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
